title: [Tuberculous lupus. Apropos of a case of tuberculous lupus tumidus].
abstract: Cutaneous tuberculosis is now becoming rare in well developed countries, representing about 0.5% of systemic tuberculosis. The devaluation of social economic level in a country implies the recrudescence of the sickness. We report a case of "lupus tumidus", a form of lupus vulgaris of the face, which has progressed and worsened during the years of the civil strife in Lebanon.
